Ugly Sweater was my go-to session beer this past winter, and this here is the last bottle of the season. Finding a widely available milk stout is unusual, and this is a very smooth and drinkable example of the style. Being that it was easily found in liquor stores and at an entry level price, I found myself picking up a six-pack pretty much as soon as the previous one was depleted, all winter long.
It is thin but creamy, with a chocolate milk (skim milk) taste and texture. It is quite rich upon initial sip though it does fade to nothing pretty quickly compared to a bigger beer. But that’s okay, this beer is made to be drank, not pondered. I’ll probably be pretty excited to pick up my first six-pack next winter when it comes back into season.
